WA LABOR PLAN FOR KIMBERLEY | 2 WA LABOR PLAN FOR KIMBERLEY | 3 Mark McGowan and WA Labor Plan for Kimberley It’s my pleasure to present to you the Plan for Kimberley - a re-elected McGowan Labor Government’s plan to keep the Kimberley strong. Firstly though, I’d like to thank the people of the Kimberley. The past year has been extremely challenging, but thanks to the efforts and understanding of all Western Australians, we have managed to keep our State safe from COVID-19. By staying safe we have been able to open our economy faster than anywhere in the world, protecting thousands of jobs. From day one, WA jobs have been my number one priority and my WA Labor Government has made a significant investment in the Kimberley, to create local jobs, support the local economy and improve services like health and education. If you look around the Kimberley, you’ll see a number of major projects underway, as part of our $28.8 billion pipeline of work. Projects like the $98.1 million Great Northern Highway Ord River North Project, the $36 million Gibb River Road upgrades, the $20 million Kununurra Aboriginal Short Stay Accommodation, the $12 million Battery Energy Storage Systems and the $10 million Broome TAFE Hospitality and Student Services Centre. As part of my WA Jobs Plan, we will make sure the local jobs created as part of these projects go to Western Australians first. We also made TAFE a priority so everyone can get the skills they need. As part of the highly successful Lower Fees, Local Skills initiative, TAFE fees have been slashed by up to 72 per cent, making quality training more affordable than ever, so every Western Australian has a pathway to a good job. The Plan for Kimberley continues our record investment in regional WA. As you read through the plan, you’ll see our focus on creating jobs and training opportunities, and improving local services for Western Australians. Creating jobs and training opportunities for Western Australians will always be my number one priority, because no one should have to travel over east to find a good job. Our Plan for Kimberley will ensure our major investment into the Kimberley will continue with further upgrades to local schools, TAFE upgrades, new tourism infrastructure and initiatives, improved health services, a significant investment in local roads, and much more. Our Plan for Kimberley will ensure that the Kimberley continues to recover, stronger than ever.

    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL - Wednesday, 28 November 2001] p5953b-5960a Hon Peter Foss; Hon Frank Hough ELECTORAL AMENDMENT BILL 2001 Second Reading Resumed from 26 September. HON PETER FOSS (East Metropolitan) [4.10 pm]: It is fortuitous that you read that statement and the letter from the Clerk of the House, Mr President, because I intended to commence my speech by raising an entirely different reason that the Bill requires an absolute majority - one that was not canvassed by the Standing Committee on Legislation. It is important that you are here because I believe that you have no alternative but to rule at the second reading stage. As you are aware, Mr President, two items are on the Notice Paper: the Electoral Amendment Bill 2001 and the Electoral Distribution Repeal Bill 2001. It has sometimes struck people as curious that two Bills are on the Notice Paper. We suspected that that was to circumvent the requirements of the Electoral Distribution Act. I suggest that the introduction of these two Bills has become a complete mess-up, but a stronger phrase than mess-up would be appropriate and I will explain why. They are two separate Bills. There is nothing to say that either of them will be passed into law. You must deal only with the Electoral Amendment Bill 2001, Mr President, not the Electoral Distribution Repeal Bill. The amending Bill makes no reference whatsoever to the Electoral Distribution Act. It happens to deal with exactly the same measures as the other Bill; therefore, this Bill operates one way or another to affect the Electoral Distribution Act.

  • Running Out? an Environmental History of Climate and Water in the Southwest of Western Australia, 1829 to 2006 Ruth A. Morgan
    Running out? An environmental history of climate and water in the southwest of Western Australia, 1829 to 2006 Ruth A. Morgan B.A., B.Ec. This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia School of Humanities History Discipline December 2012 Abstract Living between the desert and the sea, people in the southwest of Australia have long experienced anxieties about the ongoing availability of fresh water resources in the region. In recent years, evidence of a drying trend across the region since the mid-1970s has heightened these concerns. The conditions of the present beg for historical understanding of how and why these anxieties emerged, persisted and developed. In this thesis, I have utilised the ecological concepts of vulnerability and resilience to assess the ways in which people in the southwest have tried to come to terms with its climate and water resources since European colonisation in 1829. I examine the development of understandings of the regional climate and how these have changed over time; and how these understandings have shaped and informed water resource use and management in the southwest. I explore the ways in which approaches to water in the southwest became entangled with understandings of weather, climate and climatic variability, and were shaped by cultural, social and political contexts. I contend that the settler society in the southwest became inherently vulnerable to running out of water because its patterns of settlement and development were founded upon the Western European model of regular, reliable seasons and water supplies; a model fundamentally at odds with the environmental realities of the southwest.

  • Pilbara Iron Ore Agreements Processing Obligations and Outcomes
    Pilbara Iron Ore Agreements Processing Obligations and Outcomes By Peter Murphy BSc (Hons) PhD (UWA) Grad Dip Bus & Admin (Curtin) This thesis is presented for the degree of Master of Philosophy by research Murdoch University 2015 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main contents work that has not previously been submitted for a degree at tertiary education institution Peter John Murphy Pilbara Iron Ore Agreements: Processing Obligations and Outcomes Abstract The Western Australian government entered into agreements for the development of Pilbara iron ore. These saw access provided to iron ore in return for processing. The obligations were specified in terms of what, how much and when processing would take place. Both sides expected that they would be met, if economic. Ore beneficiation, pellets, metallised agglomerates and steel processing were expected, depending on the agreement. The processing obligations from the 1963 to 1974 agreements have all been met; some to time, some early and some late. They were met as set or as agreed alternatives. Metallised agglomerates and steelmaking were always found to be uneconomic. Alternatives were accepted in their place. The implementation process was considered using an Ambiguity-Conflict model. The process was an example of political implementation. This was where the agreement parties entered into negotiations when an obligation became due and could not be met. That process allowed for the agreed re-setting of the obligation (type and/or timing). If that re-set obligation was not met, the process would be repeated until an agreed outcome was achieved that would be accepted by the state as discharging the obligation.

An Exploration of the Conflict Over the Logging of Native Forests in the South-west of Western Australia This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. David Worth, AssDip Aero Eng (RMIT), MBA (UTS) Murdoch University, WA Australia 2004 DECLARATION I declare that this thesis is my own account of my own, original research, that due acknowledgment of other sources has been made where used, and that it contains as its main content, work which has not been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. Signed: _____________________________________________________ David John Worth ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to ensure that I acknowledge as many people as possible who have helped me over the past six years of my part-time study. I apologise to those I may inadvertently overlook. Firstly, I would like to thank all those who participate in social movements throughout Australia, as through their passion and commitment we get to know more about ourselves as Australians and gain a better understanding of our planet and the communities that inhabit it. In particular, I would like to sincerely thank the people from the pro- and anti-logging movements in Western Australia. Without their willingness to participate and assist my research I would have no dissertation. For many of them it was an important decision because I imposed on them at a time when their organisations were very active in the lead-up to the State election in early 2001. I also need to gratefully acknowledge the two women in my research life.
